Brownie Cake

Butter two 9-inch round cake pans, line with parchment paper butter parchment. Preheat oven to 375 F.

Melt butter and chocolate in saucepan. Add water and boil for 2 minutes. Mix flour sugar, salt and baking soda. Sift. Combine with chocolate mixture, eggs, milk and vanilla. Beat with mixer for several minutes until creamy (batter will be thin). Divide between cake pans. Bake for about 30 minutes. Cool.

To make frosting, melt butter and chocolate in saucepan. Add milk and boil until it thickens and begins to separate. Add this mixture to powdered sugar, and mix with electric mixer until very creamy. (The frosting will be a little thicker when it has cooled, but if it seems too runny, you may add additional powdered sugar.) Stir in vanilla.

To assemble, place one of the cake layers on a platter. Spread with frosting. Top with half the chopped candy bars. Place remaining cake layer on top. Frost top layer and sides of cake. Top with remaining chopped candy bars.
